Ok, I see.
Would the existing early_param("initrd", early_initrd); in
init/do_mounts_initrd.c work for this then? This would be
similar to the proposed rd_start()/rd_size() early_parem
additions, but use architecture-independent code.
How is other information passed from grub to the efi stub
and from there to the kernel on loongarch?
I suppose at the minimum we need memory regions, ACPI
tables, and command line, in addition to the initrd.
